speaking of old furry media that shaped me as a kid....any of my followers know how the endless forest is doing? i know there's been a remaster (or remake?) in development for a while but other than that i got no idea how it's going. is the community still strong or is that game basically dead?

[voidpunker]

....hm

[doe-prince]

oh, i remember the endless forest! it was such a trippy concept of a game. now that i know you played it, i can totally see some of the influence in your art - mostly in the general tone of how you draw deer themselves. something about the pose and shape of them feels very similar to that game.

It was! It was so incredibly magical for the first few years, I've never felt anything alike before or after tef. You just had to be there to know the feeling.

I've cleaned out most of my screenshots of that game, but here's some for nostalgia's sake. I know some of my old fellow tef players follow me still!

Off-Topic Post of the Week Here

Have you ever played Minecraft on a server, and spent a few minutes crouching and following each other? Doing that little wave? Have you felt that wonderful, wordless connection of someone just saying “hi” through nothing but in-game action, only to never see that person again?

What if I told you that there was an MMO where that’s the ENTIRE GAME?

Something you might not know about me is that I hate MMOs with a burning passion— I find them to be shallow, manipulative games that exist solely to drain the money and time of their players, offering little to nothing in return.

But so far, I have one exception.

“The Endless Forest” is an arthouse MMO. That’s right— an arthouse. MMO.

I’m talking “can be and has been put in museums”.

Now, let me tell you why you should play this game.

That human interaction I described earlier? That’s it. That’s the game.

There’s no chat. Usernames are invisible to players— deer can’t read, after all, so each player is given a unique, randomly-generated symbol, and is then plopped into a world with their fellow deer.

There are no items, no combat, no dailies, no crafting. You can’t customize your character on your own, but other players can change the appearance of your deer if you let them.

It’s just pure humanity.

It’s free. But actually.

TEF isn’t only free to download (the servers are funded by various cultural institutions), but there are zero micro-transactions.

Zero.

There’s no manipulation. No reward for playing frequently. No pressure to log on at certain dates or times. No bullshit.

[albino-parakeet]

Ohoho :-D I'd like to ask about "This seems familiar"

There’s actually two versions of this one!

It’s based on this really old mmo type game I used to play when I was younger and comparing it to a mmo game I currently play.

The Endless Forest is it’s name. You play as a deer with a human face in a forest. There’s no global chat so the only way to communicate is with emotes and calls. It’s still available to download and play. It’s community is still somewhat active on the official website’s forum, but it’s definitely a lot more quiet than it used to be. I hear there’s a remake in the works.

Unlike The Endless Forest, Sky does allow chatting unlocked and such. But it hit me in the middle of the night that “oh I’ve done this before but different”. Which resulted in me digging up my old TEF account and booting it up on my slowly dying laptop that runs it at 5 fps.

(The deer is what my avatar in TEF looks like, as well as the glyph that appears above them)

[zoyalannister]

hi! Im the anon from the game with a new one, ofc your friend is invinted once again to it if she wants

this one is on line of the other one, it's about 2 truths+1 lie, or 2 lies + 1 truth choose the version you prefer.

From each of your WIPS say that from them, in case you have a lot the ones that are more advanced, for example in your case I imagine the gabrily one, geranium and endless sunlight. H(n)tef maybe dont as its only one chapter left and it can be harder.

these truths and lies can be from things that may or may not happen in the stories, or about creatives process, for example "I didnt thought I would do a scene in Berlin", they can be either mature statements or PG.

Well thats it, hope you like it!

Hi, I love this game! I will do different versions of each fanfic:

Geranium, 2 truths 1 lie:

-Christopher will punch someone

-Gabriel will have a fight with someone

-Cecily will point a knife to someone's throat

Still insists she sees the ghosts, 2 lies 1 truth:

-Gabrily will have a steamy scene in the infirmary

-Gabrily will have a sreamy scene interrupted by someone

-Gabrily will have a steamy scene that will result in Anna’s conceiving

Endless Sunlight, 2 truths 1 lie:

-There will be a scene identical to ChoT but with two roles reversed

-Grace will meet the Seelie Queen in Thule, too

-Thule!Christopher is the cause of the death of one of his friends

My friend's answers:

Chrisanthemum, 2 lies 1 truth (way too easy IMO, but still):

- Matt and Cordelia will not kiss

- James will shoot his gun

- I will accept Kit's death

Constellations, 2 truths 1 lie:

- Cassian will wear a corset

- Azriel and Gwyn's relationship will be revealed

- The High Lord of the Dawn Court will visit Velaris

$TEF: Telefónica teams up with Epic Games to preinstall the Epic Games Store on millions of Android devices, enhancing customer experiences.

[odukora-lore]

For the bootloaders ever (the TEF main cast), how about 🎮🩸🎶💯🔶 (is medical training required in the ORCA? And also is it required in the OWL???????) and 🚫

Lmaoo aight some of these could be interesting

🎮 VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER — what are three of your oc's favorite hobbies?

Ngl my ass wrote these down before in their individual profiles, but since some are not too relevant I never bring them up and have forgotten a lot of it until I saw them again lmao, anyways

Lio

I think I've always talked abt this but mainly sewing ✨ has a lot to do w them growing up on a farm that mainly produces silk, their mom is a seamstress and their dad is a farmer idk if I've dumped that lol (throwing in bonus trivia that their mom is named Marmalade and their dad is Crimson cuz this is never brought up either and I need excuses lmao) so yes Lio did learn how to sew from their mom, probs know a bit of farming knowledge from their dad too, idk if I'll consider it a hobby but Lio def has some soft spot of watching plants grow and taking care of creachurs even if it's not rlly their main thing™ to them it's more like duty but they wouldn't mind doing it for the rest of their life either, I've dumped this I think but they sewed their own cape

Another would probs be baking tbh I always hced Lio to be more of a baking guy than a cooking guy (Jingle is the cooking guy lmao more on that in his section) I'd think they also learned it from their mom though it's not rlly her main forte either, I only hc thing cuz she makes the best pumpkin pies apple pies and carrot caked (in which I have never tasted either of these LMAO but they reeked of autumn enough I slapped these on for the aesthetic, also cuz there's canonically a harvest festival around autumn that's Lio's fav season so it only made sense), Lio probs only learned these specific recipes so they can make it for themselves when they feel like it lmao

Also post arc Lio will eventually go on to take up pottery ✨ idk if I've dumped this lol but it's a thing I came up on a whim a couple years back and for some reason it just fit them a lottt seeing as it's something that needs a lot of patience, and they're exactly the time to sit in a spot for hours on end quietly trying to perfect something (though from what I've heard it's a kind of hobby that's also frustrating when you fuck up cuz u have to start all over lmao, Lio is the type to pull through thou) they usually create little mugs/bowls and also love painting them, I think this is the default gift they will give ppl (they make them for Jingle all the time lol) either way never thought in depth how they picked it up post arc, I just hced they felt like picking up something new after the long journey to refresh their mind or whatever and they figured they wanna make things™

Jingle

cooking 🔥 mainly!!! As we all know mf is theeeeeee master chef of the entire cast, I wanna put him inna room w Maca and Rurene just to see them have a cook off lol (but you don't know much abt those blorbos so that's a thing for another day), Jingle's main hobby has a lot to do w his mom running a cafeteria and him helping out ever since he was a kid, he basically grew up learning the skill and cooked for his family fairly often, knows hundreds of recipes by heart and can taste out what ingredients are in a food upon tasting it lmao, Jingle cookbook when!!!!!! (Pepper canonically jokes abt this actually) but yeah he's good at it and flexes the skill quite often lol has extremely high standards for food and *will* chew you out over questionable food combos, but if he thinks a questionable combo is good himself he will defend it w his whole being and you will never win lmaooo Anyways idk if I wanna put baking as another hobby cuz it rlly does go in line w his cooking, it's a thing that goes hand in hand rlly though I kinda always hced he's better at cooking slightly, though he does have a snack mainly for making desserts, idk if smoothies count cuz that's another one of his fav things to make esp berry flavoured ones

Ig another fun one is dressing up lmaooo idk if this counts as a hobby but this is something he genuinely loves, just matching outfits and looking fashionable you just knowww his wardrobe is loaded (Rei likes to help him w this), he puts a lotttt of effort into his appearance and looks good for himself rlly instead of as a way to attract others (though that does come as a bonus and he likes to tease ppl for it) it's basically some sortttt of subversion for the trope cuz usually the flirty tease™ is known to purposely wanna look good for others' appeal (nothing against this that is) but I find it infinitely more interesting when the char does it in a way that is for self indulgence and has no intention of looking nice for others, but because of that confident energy they naturally have that charisma™

Anyways idk if this counts either but a little thing he likes is making flower crowns lol esp when going on picnics, I think having growing up in a small town makes him quite fond of nature in a way cuz he spent a lot of time as a kid exploring the woods w Rin (Rin was def the more adventurous one though) he's not that much of an explorer post arc though I'd like to think he tends to reminisce abt it by interacting w nature in a more peaceful way that calms his mind rather than reminding him of how dangerous it was, though this is also something I'm coming up on a whim cuz I rlly did slap this hobby for him for the sake of it fits his aesthetic lmao, it's just a fun thing to keep his hands busy when he thinks cooking/baking is too hectic (which can happen occasionally esp when it's what he mainly does for a living post arc), w that said he's also def the type to love making flower arrangements to decorate the cafeteria

Slightly off topic for a bit but I love how Lio's magic and identity as an explorer is quite separated from their pastimes, cuz they never intended to be an explorer to begin w and it's obvious they only learnt it at a later time for self defense, to them it is more like duty that they keep separate from their personal life, whilst Jingle's magic is completely intergrated in his hobbies cuz you just know he mainly picked up on them as basics back before he became an explorer, and even after retiring he is still fond of them and continues to use them in a way that satisfies his life post arc

Truffs

This guy is the collector everrrrrrr I can go on and on abt this lmao I think Truffs being a collector is a hc since pretty much forever tbh, I just know this adventurous spirit is the type to find cool rocks on his journey and hoard them (he literally has a pet rock collection), a load of other stuff he hoards are feathers, leaves, sticks, seashells, anything in nature rlly, I think it's a way for him to express how fond he is for the little things he find tbh, guy finds a thing and decides to keep it forever kinda applies to all of his hobbies, exactly the type to find rock in a cool shape and go around telling ppl about it, he already does it w oh look cool bug!!! Except he would rather have the bug alive in the wild so instead of keeping it in a jar he would feed them lmao, I think a bonus somewhat off topic thing is Truffs as a hoarder is slightly diff from Cindy as a hoarder cuz Cindy hoards to make new things from her peculiar trinkets (and usually doesn't have to be from nature, she's the kind to ravage through a junkyard to find bits and bolts and go ohhhhh I know what I can do w this then forgets abt it for years before it finally has a use, Truffs more so collects to preserve and almost always keeps it in it's original form as a way to appreciate what he found I'd say

Anyways on the same vein of his collector attitude he also loves photography ✨ I think this is a thing he picked up from Clover tbh (be glad you didn't ask Clover Hobbies™ cuz that is a whole novel on it's own guy does everything) but yeah Truffs and Clover always go on journeys to take pics of cool things, Toffee getting unfortunately dragged around cuz "we have to go allllll the way up there for a good shot!!!" also this is written in my blorbo profile notes drafts but mf apparently owns 10 photo albums lmao

To combine 🔥 his peculiar findings and pictures into one single hobby Truffs is also a scrapbook enthusiast ☝️ but yeah all his hobbies are of the same vibes rlly and I just knoww his scrapbooks are the messiest looking things and alll over the place but you can see it's made w heart lol, in a way it's quite similar to journaling without the words, Truffs more so associates his journeys with items he finds and things he saw so compiling them in itself is sorta like keeping a diary for him, this guy does not have the patience to sit down and write words on a page but you will find him in a corner w scattered scraps on the floor and having the time of his life pasting and piecing them together into an elaborate concoction, also he very much shows them to ppl allllll the time like "oooh did you know I make scrapbooks?!" And then flips to a random page and can tell you exactly where and when he found a thing and took a photo of a thing, also if *you* end up in his scrapbook that is the biggest honour in the universe cuz as much as he goes around making friends w everyone ever only the real ones he appreciates the presence of end up in there

Rei

I think it goes without saying that Rei loves crystals lol again it has a lot to do w her magic but also she def only picked up on crystal magic because of her fondness for it, she's a crystal collector but not in the Truffs way but solely because she wants to make jewelry out of them, she likely picked it up as a way to bring her crystals around easier but it ended up becoming something she enjoys, ngl like the Jingle making flower crowns thing I honestly came up w this for the sole aesthetic factor lmao so I honestly don't know how and where she picked up the hobby, it could be during her time when she lived in Mount. Kimoru and receiving jewels as a little girl is pretty common esp when she was pretty much spoiled and pampered by the Tree Fam

W that said I think she also just like making cute accessories in general, like beaded bracelets/necklaces/earrings (I should probs draw her wearing them tbh, even the current Rei outfit is a bit outdated cuz I have some slight tweaks in my head, she also has a shit load of bows and hairties and upon asking if you can have one she'll be all petty abt it even if she never actually wears them all lmao, but this also means if she does give you one you're probably someone that earned it (think the time she gave Jingle a hairtie when they started bonding more)

Aside from all these "girly" hobbies I think she's also someone that plays video games w Clover occasionally lol, she is just as if not more competitive than he is and they bicker like hell during a gaming session (I literally hc No Mercy by The Living Tombstone to be their exact energy I need to make an animatic someday lmaooo) also I think she's the only one out of the main four that genuinely enjoys combat and goes out of her way to train tbh (her idea of training is to sneak out and wreck havoc lol, usually by sneaking into dark alleyways and barge in if there's sus shit happening)

Overall I don't actually have that much concrete ideas of Rei's hobbies cuz for a while she wasn't rlly in the main four lineup, so ironically Rin is more developed in this regard cuz the main four spot was filled by her for a while aka why there's a bit more stuff on her profile draft in some parts, I can name them but there's not much backstory detail like the other three rlly

🩸 DROP OF BLOOD — what is your oc's blood type?

Stardust lol /hj

My first thought upon being asked this is *you probably only asked just to know the blood type conventions in universe* lmao and tbh while I never thought too hard abt it (or at all cuz like many things it's not very relevant, it's the equivalent of knowing a char's exact height and weight lol in which I actually do somewhat keep track of to know who's tallest to shortest), but yeah ngl I don't think they follow our ideas of what blood type is tbh, animals in our world alone don't even have the same blood types as humans do so imagine what is it like for a fantasy universe where there's millions of possible hybrid combinations

Similar to horoscopes I also don't bother assigning it to blorbos just purely based on vibes lmao esp when it doesn't rlly add anything to the character or story hence the existence of constellations (among other things), lifeblood in universe is very heavily implied to be a raw magic force for every life form in existence so it only makes sense that every being at the core is made of the same thing lol, so yes it's still blood but probably not limited to just insert categories cuz it doesn't feel lore relevant to make said categories exist at all, imagine donating blood and they're just all compiled in one single blood bank™ anyone can save anyone deal lmao

The only so called exceptions is probably how immortal blood and mortal blood are different in nature, there's a reason immortals can internally wield magic whilst mortals can only use it as an external resource, immortal blood is more magically concentrated by default that their life force is inherently stronger, also explains why attempting to infuse immortality in a mortal vessel (like in Thorn's case lmao) can cause several issues and mutations, so yes while we don't have the conventional *if the wrong blood mixes things fuck up* we do have *if the wrong blood mixes things fuck up but worse* lmaoo

Ig there's also the whole draviarant / glowlin dichotomy but that's a whole other thing for another day

Again didn't rlly answer your question but I hope this bonus lore dump makes up for it lol

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

Ngl I think their playlists while having songs that relate to their character story wise it is also pretty much what they usually listen too lol, though I def had plans to tweak the Jingle playlist a taddd bit cuz it's honestly too dark for my current taste and I want more of his char to shine through instead of solely his trauma lmao

But overall

Lio - mostly soft acoustic w the occasional louder tunes, in some way it shows their timid humble nature but also how they're determined and dedicated at their core, the entirety of their playlist def reeks of what they listen too tbh

Jingle - actual Jingle likes ballads but I don't have them enough in his current playlist lol I do think there's a couple loud songs in there he does like (esp during the main arc) but post arc Jingle def have a softer vibe, generally he's very sentimental so cheesy love songs are also on the list lmao, though I usually don't like to include too much romantic focused songs in individual playlists cuz those go in the ship playlists lol, I think he def vibes to some more playful sounding stuff though

Truffs - def folk/medieval sounding music w a mix of modern sounds, again just more hints towards his origins as the prince of Corondale whilst trying to blend into Naru but also the songs reeks of going on a grand adventure which is 100% Truffs core

Rei - pop/rock, just extremely loud af music for her loud af and outspoken personality lol I think there's a tinge of playfulness in her music taste that reflects her mischief but they're honestly also quite emotionally loaded, they either sound rlly fun or rlly angry aka her whole char duality

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

Idk if there's anything abt my blorbos that I haven't dump already lmaooooo esp in regards to the main four that I talk quite often abt, ig I have these in my notes but you may or may not already know them

Lio

Hates jellybeans w a burning passion cuz Jingle pranked them w a cheese flavoured one as their first impression and it tasted like shit

Was named Helio since they were born on a sunny day, ironically prefers cloudy weather instead

Wears socks when they sleep, usually in mismatched shades of green, they probably just lost the other

Jingle

Touches his neck and plays with his hair when he's nervous, a thing he's picked up since childhood

Morning person, used to wake up early to help his mom run the cafe and to prepare breakfast for the family, but in return would fall asleep before midnight, his sleep routine hasn't changed since, I'm talking the wakes up around 4am and falls asleep around 9pm kind lmao

Has been growing his hair out since he was a trainee in ORCA up until it was cut off during the main arc (iykyk)

Truffs

Carries candy in his backpack as a little backup snack, for himself and for the ants, though he'd always forget to throw the wrappers away

Wears a headbands cuz it's hard to fly around and explore when his hair covers up half of his view in the wind

His fav colour is blue but he can never choose between ocean blue and sky blue

Rei

Has been told her pigtails are not practical in combat but she doesn't care and continues to wear them out of spite

Figured out she's bisexual from dating around in hs, never rlly had what one might consider a "serious" relationship though

Kept the mug that Oak used to make her milktea w (even if it got shattered during Oakrion's argument when the Eternal was revealed to the agency a couple years back)

🔶 LARGE ORANGE DIAMOND — does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?

Going in line w the ORCA/OWL question I think it's 100% required in the ORCA for all recruits w the strict regulations as we all know, though I think it's mostly basic first aid and medical knowledge and only those that are specialized in healing magic go on to learn further details abt the expertise, so canon wise in the main four Truffs would be the most knowledgeable in this regard, though I think Lio is def someone that went on to learn more cuz they're paranoid like that and there's no harm in knowing more than they already do lmao

In terms of OWL I'm so sure it was pushed by Conifer cuz Orion is the kinda bastard to overlook it lmao though he does try his best to make sure all the recruits don't get hurt (esp Rei) which is ironic cuz he never takes the advice himself (this is a whole plot point that leads to their fallout down the line but that's another tangent lol), so while Rei has the knowledge she's way more likely to do everything w brute force, who needs healing magic when you defend yourself well enough to not get hurt deal lmao

Jingle only knows for being an ORCA recruit at some point lmao, Corondale gives no fucks abt anyone thats affiliated cuz they can always find more replacements™ it goes without saying

🚫 PROHIBITED — does your oc drink/smoke? do they do it regularly, or is it more on occasion or for special events?

Ngl not a lot of my chars smoke for the sole fact that I don't like it so my blorbos don't get it lmao, Budgie smokes because I don't like Budgie 💥

In terms of drinking I think the main four do have slightly varying lvls of it

Lio def reeks of someone that only drinks a little bit during special occasions, mostly festivals but I imagine them to not be very fond of how it tastes lol, they much prefer soda esp lemon/lime flavoured ones

Jingle reeks of a wine drinker but def the kind to like the floral scented ones, I think he indulges occasionally but not as often as Orion (which is probs the most notorious wine drinker in the entire TEF lineup alongside Maple lmao), he def uses wine in cooking for the flavour though, you'd find a shit load of wine in his kitchen cabinets and assume he's a heavy drinker but he'd tell you exactly what dish it is for and how much to use and how almost none of it is to be drinked lmao

Truffs def tried once out of curiosity but he rlly reeks of someone that doesn't take it well lol in other words Toffee had to fly him home instead of Truffs flying him as usual lmaooo, I think Toffee scolded him after that, idk if he ever got around to trying more but Truffs only tries out of curiosity every now and then when he gets reminded it's a thing that exists lmao it's just not on his mind

Rei is def the mf that tried drinking to seem more mature lmao but hated the taste so much she never looked back, she hates coffee w a burning passion for the sole fact of how bitter it tastes so at most she's drinking the sweet ones

State Senators Investigate Texas Energy Fund After Applicant Fraud

State Senators Investigate Texas Energy Fund After Applicant Fraud

Will the Texas Energy Fund Work?

Seriously? The Texas Energy Fund was set up to boost power to the electric grid. But then a company lied on its application to cash in. Now, angry lawmakers are taking a closer look into the PUCT's vetting processes.

The Texas Energy Fund (TEF) was supposed to be a safe bet for boosting the state's power grid. But recent events have raised serious doubts about how secure it really is. Some now worry the fund might be as risky as handing over the keys to a 16-year-old for a long, costly joyride. Propping up new Texas power projects must be in good hands. But the TEF is off to a rocky start. 

The Texas Energy Fund Comes Under Fire

The TEF offers grants and low-interest loans to add dispatchable power to the Texas grid. The logic is that Texas will have more power making capacity in the future. Plus, these power plants can get the juice flowing in a jiffy. But not all projects can receive a loan or grant. Solar, wind, and battery projects don’t qualify for funding. So, natural gas plants are the primary target for this money. 

The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) denied a loan to Aegle Power after it found serious problems with its application. Aegle Power claimed NextEra Energy as a co-sponsor for its 1,292 MW natural gas project. However, NextEra never agreed to be part of the project. In fact, it had no idea it was even listed. Oops! 

This raised major concerns about how the PUCT and its contractor, Deloitte, vet projects for the Texas Energy Fund. According to official documents, Deloitte has a four-year contract worth $107.4 million. And for that amount of money, state officials expect top-notch vetting. So, some explanation is needed. Soon, state leaders will get just that. 

Lawmakers Want Answers

Six lawmakers serve on an advisory committee for the TEF. That advisory committee’s next hearing, scheduled for October 8, will focus on how Deloitte reviewed the initial submissions. At some point, the advisory panel will convey more details to the Senate Finance Committee.  

Aegle Power’s fraudulent attempt now calls into question whether the process is tight enough to catch any other dishonest actors. The success or failure of the TEF could have a major impact on whether Texas has cheap electricity in the future. 

Is the Texas Energy Fund at Risk?

NextEra’s requested removal from the Aegle project shook confidence in the Texas Energy Fund. The PUCT promised that Deloitte carefully reviewed each application before setting it to advance. Yet, lawmakers want to know how a convicted fraudster like Aegle Power’s CEO could slip through.

With so much money at stake, officials are concerned. The upcoming scrutiny should give Texans answers, but many wonder if others may game the system. But for now, PUCT must ensure the fund does what it should: support reliable power projects.

Fortunately, you don’t have to ride these political waves. Secure your home’s power with a new plan at https://www.texaselectricityratings.com/electricity-rates. So no matter what’s happening with PUCT, you’ll have the best rate you can. 

[sdyuteiaok]

Really enjoyed the Frog event--got a nice couple more hours of play in before my phone bank today, the deck is in a great place--it doesn't walk away with games, but it also doesn't get run over easily, either, which is idea: solid play either way, so your decisions are what get you wins rather than some spinning wheel from emblems and stuff. I particularly like when you can sac something to draw, and even absorb some abilities--it doesn't come up too often, but every now and then it does, and being able to find those spots is one of those decision points I'm talking about. Some are gimmes, like the Offspring stun Frog, often can just eat the token for a free draw, or the hybrid ETB draw guys are usually free to sac for an additional draw, which is even better for the looter, since you see an extra card before discarding. The deck ended up shifting away from being too on-the-nose with Frogs and has control elements in a good amount of removal, but it's still pretty Frog-centric, so it still definitely felt in the spirit(/Frog) of the event. And the PWs can really drop the hammer: I had something like 5 going at once at most. The sweetest play was using my cowboy Oko to turn into a copy of the BG surveil land which had been turned into a creature by my Nissa, Who Shakes the World, and then I since Oko was a copy of the land, I then used him and one of my other lands to cast Jace, the Mind Sculptor off of them, who then bounced my opponent's scariest creature--Uro--and the rest of my board could fend off everyone else, so my PWs were ready to get cracking the next turn--fortunately never saw any mass bounce spell this entire event, so other than that, there was no way my opponent was breaking through in the meantime, so he scooped after Uro drew and his grave couldn't support an escape since it was obvious the PWs would overwhelm him in the coming turn. Another really sweet interaction that came up regularly was my Teferi that gets counters per draw, and Jace Brainstorming every turn--so Teferi makes a guy, and then the Brainstorm juices the PW and the tokens so they get out of hand extremely quickly while also making Teferi just about impossible to take down outside of PW removal, since there's always a burly blocker to contend with, which perfectly splits attention, cuz--and this came up--if you deal with Tef, that means you aren't dealing with these giant tokens who will only grow larger and, indeed end the game. And that's the main appeal of the deck--numerous decks--that split attention between PWs and powerful boards, such that your opponent can't possibly hand both sources of pressure and so you can win with whichever aspect he doesn't deal with--and if you're not in a position to close, your guys just accumulate advantages over time. Like I had Phyrexian Vraska once, proliferating all my guys, and it was incredible, cuz it's just making everything scary in its own way simultaneously, perfectly overwhelming my opponent on what to respond to. The deck has wonderful reach, that way--especially if they're focusing on clearing my creatures, then my PWs just mop up. Such a neat deck/event.

Unlocking the Secrets of Metabolism, Energy, and Fat Loss with Java Burn

Boosting metabolism, enhancing energy, and losing fat are all interconnected goals that many people strive to achieve. But let's be honest—tackling these goals isn't always easy. Luckily, there's a secret weapon that can make your journey smoother: Java Burn. This powerful supplement isn't just about shedding pounds; it's about transforming your body's engine into a fat-burning, energy-boosting machine.

The Metabolism Mystique: Why It Matters

Think of your metabolism as the engine of your body. It’s what keeps everything running—whether you're powering through a workout or just lounging on the couch. A faster, more efficient metabolism means your body is better at converting food into energy and burning off fat. On the flip side, a sluggish metabolism can leave you feeling tired and make it harder to shed those extra pounds.

But why does metabolism slow down in the first place? Age is one factor—after 30, your metabolism starts to naturally decline. Hormones, muscle mass, and even your lifestyle choices play a role too. So, if you’re finding it harder to lose weight as you age or after a few indulgent years, your metabolism might be part of the problem.

Let’s break it down: Metabolism isn’t just one thing. It’s a combination of various chemical processes that happen within your body to keep you alive and functioning. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body needs to maintain basic physiological functions, like breathing and maintaining your body temperature, while at rest. It accounts for about 60-75% of the calories you burn daily. The rest comes from physical activity and the thermic effect of food (TEF), which is the energy used to digest, absorb, and process the nutrients in your meals.

Given how crucial metabolism is to your overall health, finding ways to give it a little boost can significantly impact your energy levels and your ability to lose weight. This is where diet, exercise, and supplements like Java Burn come into play.

Energy Levels and Fat Loss: A Dynamic Duo

Energy is what drives you through the day. When your energy levels are high, everything feels easier—from your morning run to staying focused at work. But when energy dips, motivation drops, and that’s when the cravings kick in. It’s a vicious cycle: low energy leads to inactivity, which slows metabolism, which then results in weight gain.

Many people think that the only way to lose fat is to exercise more and eat less. While this is partly true, it’s not the whole story. Fat loss is all about creating a calorie deficit—burning more calories than you consume—but how efficiently your body burns those calories depends on your metabolic rate. This is why some people seem to lose weight faster than others, even when following similar diets and exercise routines.

Now, imagine you’ve got an ally that not only helps you burn more calories but also keeps your energy levels high, so you can crush your workouts and stay active throughout the day. That’s exactly what Java Burn aims to do. By boosting your metabolism and stabilizing your energy levels, Java Burn makes it easier to maintain that crucial calorie deficit and keep fat burning all day long.

Java Burn: Your Metabolism’s Best Friend

Java Burn isn’t just another supplement; it’s a game-changer. Let’s break down what makes it so effective. The green tea extract in Java Burn is rich in catechins, which are natural antioxidants that boost your metabolism and enhance fat burning. Studies have shown that these catechins can increase your calorie burn, particularly when combined with exercise.

Catechins work by increasing the amount of fat your body burns for energy. They do this by boosting your levels of norepinephrine, a hormone that signals fat cells to break down fat. The more norepinephrine, the stronger the signal to fat cells, and the more fat gets broken down and used for energy.

Caffeine, another key ingredient, is well-known for its ability to increase metabolic rate and improve fat oxidation. But what’s special about Java Burn’s caffeine is that it’s combined with other ingredients that smooth out the jitters and energy crashes that you might get from your regular cup of coffee.

Java Burn also includes chromium, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar means fewer cravings and less overeating, making it easier to stick to your diet and see real results. Chromium’s role in insulin regulation also means that your body is more efficient at processing carbs, reducing the likelihood that they’ll be stored as fat.

Fat Loss with Java Burn: More Than Just a Supplement

Java Burn doesn’t just help you lose weight—it helps you lose fat. The supplement’s unique formula promotes fat oxidation, which means your body becomes more efficient at using stored fat as a source of energy. Whether you’re doing cardio or lifting weights, Java Burn helps ensure that your body is torching fat, not just burning off the carbs you ate earlier.

Fat oxidation is the process by which your body breaks down fat molecules to use them as fuel. The more efficiently your body can oxidize fat, the more fat you’ll burn during your workouts and even at rest. Java Burn’s combination of green tea extract, caffeine, and chromium is designed to maximize this process, turning your body into a fat-burning furnace.

Another benefit of Java Burn is its ability to suppress appetite. This isn’t about starving yourself—it’s about feeling satisfied with what you eat, so you don’t end up reaching for unhealthy snacks or eating out of boredom. By controlling hunger and reducing cravings, Java Burn makes it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan without feeling deprived.

Appetite suppression is a crucial aspect of successful weight loss. It’s easy to stick to a diet when you’re motivated, but when hunger strikes, it can derail your progress. Java Burn helps you maintain control, ensuring that you’re eating enough to fuel your metabolism without going overboard on calories.

Making Java Burn Work for You

To get the most out of Java Burn, consistency is key. Add it to your morning routine—just mix it with your coffee or tea, and you’re good to go. The best part? Java Burn is tasteless, so it won’t interfere with the flavor of your favorite morning brew.

The timing of your Java Burn intake is important. Taking it in the morning sets the tone for the day, giving your metabolism a jumpstart and helping you feel more energized. If you’re particularly sensitive to caffeine, you might want to avoid taking it too late in the day to prevent any disruption to your sleep.

But remember, Java Burn isn’t a magic pill. It’s most effective when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Focus on whole foods—lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables—to fuel your metabolism and keep your energy levels steady. And don’t forget to stay active. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a HIIT workout, or lifting weights, regular exercise is crucial for keeping your metabolism firing on all cylinders. http://revolvefitness.life/

Java Burn works synergistically with exercise to enhance fat burning. When you exercise, your body’s demand for energy increases, and if you’re using Java Burn, your body is more likely to tap into fat stores for that energy. This is especially true for cardio workouts, which are known for their fat-burning benefits.

Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of sleep. Your body needs rest to recover, and sleep plays a vital role in regulating hormones that control hunger and metabolism. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to support your weight loss efforts.

Poor sleep can wreak havoc on your metabolism. It disrupts the balance of hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin, leading to increased appetite and cravings for high-calorie foods. By prioritizing good sleep, you’ll give your metabolism the rest it needs to function optimally, making your weight loss journey easier and more effective.

Transform Your Body with Java Burn

Java Burn offers a powerful combination of ingredients that work together to boost your metabolism, increase your energy levels, and help you burn fat more effectively. It’s not just about losing weight—it’s about transforming your body into a more efficient, energized machine.

Incorporate Java Burn into your daily routine, and you’ll be giving your metabolism the support it needs to work harder for you. Pair it with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and plenty of rest, and you’ll be well on your way to achieving your fitness goals.

Remember, consistency and balance are key. Java Burn is here to help, but it’s your commitment to a healthy lifestyle that will drive the results. With the right approach, you can unlock the secrets to a faster metabolism, higher energy levels, and lasting fat loss.
